Nice To Have
A mini fridge for those small bottles! Imagine a world where you’re changing your little diaper and the bottle is handy without going to the kitchen!
Frigidaire
Great for nursery for those late nights— simplify the newborn phase and have breakfast ready when your baby wakes up!
Travel Formula Dispenser - Formula Pro Mini
Red light is said to “sooth”, however I use it as a nightlight for those late night diaper changes. It does offer a premium membership that has additional sounds and color features.
Hatch Rest+ 2nd Gen Baby & Kids Sound Machine
You don’t need a smart home to parent smarter, “hey siri, play this song on 20% volume”. This is by far my favorite feature in our nursery!
Apple HomePod mini Midnight MTJT3LL/A - Open Box
Changing Station
Great for applying baby ointment and creams! Remember, ointment protects cream heels!
Bumco Baby Bum Brush & Diaper Cream Spatula
What I love most about this garbage can is that there’s no special bags needed! It locks and odors and is cute and stylish for any nursery, as it comes in a variety of colors!
Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail, Odor Locking, White
Totally unnecessary and it should be under nice to have, however, there’s nothing like a warm wipe to wipe your baby down when they have an accident! It also acts as a great night light!
Munchkin Warm Glow Baby Wipe Warmer, White
Perfect for washing baby’s hair, and getting those pesky flakes out that cause cradle cap! I keep the sponge/brush in the bathroom, and the comb with the nail file.
Frida Baby 3-Step Cradle Cap System
Protect to prevent the rash! I use the butt spatula to butter the buns, and wipe it on the front of the diaper as well!
Aquaphor Healing Ointment Skin Protectant Advanced Therapy Moisturizer for Dry and Cracked Skin Unscented - 14oz
Medicine
If you get any gas drop, start with this one! The syringe has a stopper so you know you’re giving the perfect dose!
Mylicon Gas Relief Drops for Infants, 0.5oz
Another great pick for gas relief! The only thing is, you need to double check the syringe to ensure you’re giving the proper dose!
Mommy's Bliss Gas Drops: Simethicone Relief for Babies
Helps calm baby’s small stomach and gets rid of hiccups almost instantly! While hiccups are a normal part of development, sometimes they can be excessive!
Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water for Babies with Gas, Colic or Stomach Discomfort
I know rectal thermometers are best, but it’s not always practical! This touchless thermometer will at least give you an idea of your baby’s temperature, and is especially good after they recieve vaccines, since they’re extra snuggly!
Frida Baby 3-in-1 Ear and Forehead Infrared Thermometer
This is intimidating, I got this as a gift. My son has been looking forward to this from 7 weeks! I use it when he wakes up and before bed. It gets those boogers that are way up there— maybe he also likes the noise.
Dr. Noze Best NozeBot Baby Aspirator - Pediatric ENT-Designed Relief for Severe Congestion - Battery
Helps smooth gas pain the natural way. I’ve only used this when I’ve done baby exercises and still no relief, and this helps calm baby down!
Boiron Camilia Tummy for Colic & Gas - 30ct
